Hey there little bird, you didn't stick your nose in my ear this morning, you've only done that to me every day at 7am for the last 13 years. You want to go out? You need a lift because the stairs are too hard? Sure thing little bird, I'll give you a lift, just like when you were 8 weeks old and couldn't climb the stairs by yourself. I would take you in the car, but you've always hated going for rides. You always got so sick in there, and I never liked cleaning it up, but don't worry little bird, I was never mad at you. You couldn't help being sick all the time. I'll let you walk on the grass I suppose, your poor old joints that use to pull sleds and me down the street are all work out and tired now. You gave the best sleigh rides baby bird, even though you were the runt. I know it's hard to walk, I'll carry you the rest of the way, even if it is hard. I know you'd have carried me if I needed you. If you need to fall asleep on my shoulder, that's okay. You need all the rest you can get, the rest makes all your pain go away and it's all I can ask. It might sting a little going in baby bird, I know the buzz of the razor scared you but it's okay, it didn't hurt. Nothing is going to hurt you anymore. Just one more kiss before you sleep little bird, you never could stop kissing everyone. Just one more kiss baby bird, I know this is easy for you, it doesn't hurt your old bones to give those wet sloppy kisses. I won't scratch your chest little bird, because you'll want to kick your back leg and I won't let you hurt before you go away. You can go now Juno bird, I'll be okay. I'll lie here with you, but it's time for you to sleep now. You've worked hard for 13 years June bird, it's time for me to work hard for you. One day I'll see you again little bird, just don't forget me okay? Goodnight little bird. It's okay now. It's all okay.
You sure it wasn't a dog? It'd be sadder if it was a dog. I'm gonna say it was a dog so I can re-fragment my heart. *cries*
This is why I want a dog. They are always happy and everything is just so exciting... well the ones I've met are like that.
